Fantastic review. Down to earth and putting words into actions with an actual honest demonstration from worse case scenario with no tools available to what professionals use. Loving the MacGyver reference as well. Thank you.
7:35 - I use them from 10 years and they are best tool that I ever see. Light, cheap and automatic.
they can be found rebranded too, got mine from Berner and they're indeed quite good. 😏👌
Those blue and yellow wire strippers are by far the best ones you have. You can cut and strip multiple wires to the same exact length with one use. To adjust the tension, use the knob at the top/rear of the wire strippers. once set, they will work for a wide range of wire thicknesses and insulation stiffness.
great vid, very detailed review. Subbed
Had a chuckle at your interpretation for how us English-speaking people might pronounce "Knipex". Actually, most of us incorrectly pronounce it as "nip-ex". I haven't heard "ka-nigh-pex" yet. Btw, "gauge" is pronounced "gage", similar to cage, with no "u" sound-a silent letter.
I can recomand the weidmüller stripax ,ist the best wirestripper I ever use.Im a profesional elektriker ,make a lot of different switchboards.
The "highest end" wire-stripper from Weicon is the number 7, I tried it and it never failed within the wire sizes I use, the action is hard, it's not smooth, but I think this sort of hard action is what makes this tool able to strip successfully in a big range of wires (0.5 to 16mm). The Knipex you are using has this smoothly lovely action, but the price to this smoothness is a narrow range in the upper part of the spectrum. Awesome comparison by the way, thanks.
I have the Ideal Ergo strippers they work great... They even work great on mil-spec tefzel wire which is insanely strong insulation.
Your yellow and blue flat headed strippers you say won't work should be able to have the tension adjusted by that metal knob on the back of the head, I have 2 wire strippers of that same style and they both work great and I can adjusted them to work on any wire just fine by adjusting the knob on the back so try and adjusting what looks to be a brass knob on the back of your set and that should get them working!
Cheavy513, you surely had the original Elcontrol Energy Net PTS4 from Italy (ruclips.net/video/YJo5QRZu17E/видео.html). Wire stripper shown in video is cheap copy.
I brought the Knipex mostly because I find these tools consistently brilliant. BTW. Never strip wires with your teeth. I did this when young and by an act of stupidity grabbed a wire that was live at 240v and almost started to strip it before doing a final test. I was young, stupid and lucky. Get a knipex, they really are good.
were you 2 yo or 3? 😹
Very good video thank you
weicon's red part is the lock to mouth close, right?, does knipex has lock?
It all depends on the quality of cable. Try to strip leads of a mogami cable with your fingernails. Good cables will have robust pvc to protect the cable from mechanical damage. No way you can remove those without a tool.

You can try to use weidmuller stripax, maybe you'll change your opinion about the instrument.
The Knipex wire stripper is a rebranded Jokari wire stripper. You can get the same tool a little bit cheaper if you buy the Jokari branded one not the Knipex rebrand.
Interesting and strange. Didn´t know about that.
The Knipex is more easily available at distributors and hobbyists online-stores.
KainkaLabs .Indeed, also did not touch on a lot of nice efficient side strippers, such as those from Ideal, Klein or Engineer etc.
Even the Snap-On rebadge is cheaper than buying the OG Jokari here in the states. 😂
I have the blue since the knipex one is about double the price, but I agree with the judgement.
Hi, please
Could you help me? That stripper you did show at 6:30 minutes here in home has one very similar. The problem: it doesn’t strip. When I was disassembling, a helical spring and a small piece of metal in a cylindrical shape fell. I didn't find the right place for them.
Best Regards
What is still the best option in terms of "price / quality" for homework that is rarely done?
Difficult question. If you have some practice you can strip insulated wire with a knive or even side-cutter and don´t need these automatic wire-strippers. I still would recommend the WEICON. It´s quite reliable, doesn´t any adjustment and is rrelatively cheap. But it reaches it´s limitations if you want to/have to strip thick installation wire.
the Weicon n⁰5 is indeed a very good choice but for a home use only single tool, a pliers type like the Stahlwille 66245160 is well suited for *not live* 230V works. can be used on finer cabling too with some lighter hand work and can usually be found for cheap online in most western europoor countries. 😉
Orbis makes or made one at one time too as
Only jaws from 007 movies can use his teeth for wire stripping
Good vid 👍
Did you try the Weicon Precision Wire Stripper 51001002?
Weicon did send one to me 2 years ago. One of the blades came loose at one of the first tries! Nevertheless I bought a new one for later testing. Will be tested in a "shootout" with the new Knipex 12 62 180 with adjustable force.
Hallöchen. Soweit ich als Victorinoxbenutzer informiert bin, haben alle Messer an dem Kapselheber/Großer Schraubendreher eine kleine Kerbe unten. Dies ist die offizielle Kabelabisoliereinrichtung.
Grüße
Ja, stimmt. Übersehe ich immer wieder.
Es gibt ein eigenes Video zu den beiden von mir verwendeten Victorinox-Taschenmessern ("Mini-Champ" und "Cyber-Tool"):

Play at double speed. Thanks for info though :)
i think its a silent K pronounced nipex
nope
You should try "Phoenix Contact Wirefox 4" - best price in the high professional range!!! All these in the video... are full shit.
Really... 4 minutes to get to "use a wire stripper" instead of your teeth... or a knife? Just get to the point. I think most people should know those are not great options (especially your teeth or fingernails...).
The point is,... Teeth and fingernails are BY FAR the best way to strip small wires, and anything with silicone sheath. I've used my teeth for about 40 years, and never found a better way for any size cable up about 2.5mm²
To be fair, I quite liked how he talked about all of the ways people might try to strip and wire and the pros and cons.
Stripping wires with your teeth... We've all been there!
BTW... "Knipex" would be pronounced "nippex" - the "K" is silent (just like in "knife"). "Gauge" is pronounced as "gage" (rhymes with "cage").
Knipex is pronounced with a hard K. If you don't believe it, go to their RUclips channel and listen to one of their videos. Maybe think twice before correcting other people.
It's German, so the K isn't silent
I'd agree if he was speaking German - but he's not.
That makes no sense whatsoever. Are you correcting people when they say peurgeot the right way? Stop correcting people if you don't know what you are talking about.
